Shubarteniz

Shubarteniz (Kazakh: Шұбартеңіз; Russian: Шубартениз) is a salt lake in Ulytau District, Karaganda Region, Kazakhstan.

[3] Shubarteniz is a shallow salt lake lying at the northern end of the Turan Lowland.

[5] There are three main rivers flowing into the lake, the Baikonyr into the southeastern shore, the Zhymyky from the northeast, and the Kalmakkyrgan from the south.

During the summer Shubarteniz dries up turning into a sor, where the salt precipitates in numerous spots of the exposed bottom of the lake.

[6] There is little vegetation in the area of Shubarteniz, except for scattered spots of saltwort growth near the lakeshore.
